Everyone has a film or two they have a weird, but perfectly normal and healthy, attachment to – mine include Hot Fuzz, Love Actually, and the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. Netflix recently distributed a brand new Christmas film, A Christmas Prince, which seems to have diehard fans already!

To sum it up briefly (and without spoilers!), journalist Amber Moore goes undercover posing as a tutor for a young princess to get a story on the crown prince, Richard, but ends up falling in love with him instead! The film gets its festive name for being set around Christmas…

Obviously, some people are bound to enjoy this cute but simple sounding film. Netflix, however, are slightly concerned for a handful of their subscribers. In a light hearted tweet, Netflix asked ‘To the 53 people who’ve watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?’.

To the 53 people who’ve watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?

The hilarious tweet had some people somewhat worried about Netflix looking at their viewing habits – maybe they had shamefully watched 50 Shades of Grey one too many times!

This isn’t the first time Netflix has shown concern for their subscribers. A redditor recently posted about how he managed to watch the entirety of The Office (U.S) in 5-10 days – that’s a whopping 4 days, 3 hours and 30 minutes of content – and received an email from Netflix asking if he was okay, due to his dramatic increase in viewing activity. No judgement just a friendly check in to see if everything was alright.

While some people were slightly creeped out, it’s normal for websites to track data of their users, and sometimes the weird findings are too priceless to keep to themselves. It’s fantastic to see a big company that actually cares about their subscribers, I just hope that it isn’t revealed how much I actually watch Hot Fuzz!

In case you hadn’t heard, women everywhere have decided that men having a Dad bod is apparently just the sexiest thing ever. But guys what do you if you are as ripped as a washboard and want to attract those seeking the Dad bod physique? It is a rather odd dilemma granted but one wide spread enough for one quick thinking designer to come up with a hilarious solution.

Introducing the “DadBag” for those men who want to look out of shape without having to gain any weight to achieve it. In a wonderful optical illusion this photo realistic bum bag gives the impression of having that sought after Dad bod belly bulge whenever the need arises!

The “DadBag” comes in a range of skin tones and levels of hairiness to create a realistic paunch.

One things for sure, this is a fashion accessory guaranteed to turn heads!

What better way to get people talking about the gender pay gap than to charge men an 18% premium, and then donate it to a women’s charity!

Handsome Her a new café in Melbourne, Australia, which describes itself as a ‘space by women, for women’, has imposed the tax to reflect the gender pay gap according to the 2016 report from Australia’s Workplace Equality Agency. The report found that across all industries, women’s salaries are 17.7% less than men’s.

The café, which opened its doors for the first time Thursday, is hoping to shine a light on the issue.

The café has however been on the receiving end of criticism on social media since their sign went viral, branding the tax as ‘divisive’. One twitter user wrote ‘We now raise “awareness” and debate it with discrimination toward men… but we must be equals to men!’.

But café owner Alex O’Brien, who is also a feminist, says the tax is in fact ‘voluntary’ stating ‘there’s been nothing but positivity from everyone, males and females.’ She added ‘we’ve had men travel across town to visit us and pay “the man tax” and throw some extra in the donation jar – guys, you’re pretty neat’.

So far, Handsome Her has collected a several hundred dollars for Elizabeth Morgan House Aboriginal Women’s Service. And it’s definitely succeeded in fueling a conversation about the gender pay gap!

It’s been a tough past year for Southern Rail, but their delegation of duties to one of their new employees has turned things around for the company on social media. 15 year old Eddie was put in charge of the rail company’s Twitter and brightened the days of commuters across the country with his polite and funny responses to users’ increasingly bizarre and outlandish questions. His charming social media temperament even landed him an interview on BBC Radio 1 with Scott Mills and reams of media coverage, with people totally endeared by his efforts.

Eddie assisted the public with all manner of questions, from film recommendations, to what he thinks about pineapple on pizza, who will win Love Island and even answering a few train-related enquiries along the way. It was a light-hearted change to the generic enquiries and complaints experienced by any train company’s Twitter account. Southern Rail employees recognised Eddie’s talent for social engagement and even put him back on tweeting duty the following day to keep up his good work. His original tweet introducing himself received almost 2,000 retweets and 6,000 likes and from there, people were hooked on his tweets and he became somewhat of a viral sensation, with thousands of people engaging with the Southern Rail page.
Here’s a selection of our favourite pearls of wisdom from Eddie:

Twitter has once again proved itself as the best tool for facilitating dialogues between big named companies and single individuals with hefty appetites, and in this case quite literally!

A teenager in Nevada has accepted the huge fast food chain Wendy’s task, of reaching 18 million retweets to get a year’s supply of free chicken nuggets. The sixteen-year-old Carter Wilkerson confidently replied to the challenge with simply: “consider it done” and posted a screenshot of the exchange for, at first, a laugh but to the boy’s surprise, the simple screenshot turned out to be the spark which spiralled out of control creating a trending support base across the internet.

Carter has even set up his own website and is trending on twitter as #NuggsForCarter with giant companies such as Microsoft encouraging companies like Google and Amazon to join in! And yes, you guessed it; they are all fully supporting his food fight for the precious Nuggs!

Some companies such as United Airlines are even pre-empting the boy’s victory and facilitating a free flight to “any Wendy’s in the world”. The Mattress Firm Company also got involved and promised to help out with the recovery stages of the age-old food coma by providing Carter with a “food coma sleep pack”. Keep your eyes peeled for more upcoming companies to get involved in their own unique ways.

If you get the 18 million RTs, we’ll give you a free flight to take you to any @Wendys in the world in a city we serve. Good luck! https://t.co/igxnPg1JUF
